True to form, the crazies at Westboro Baptist Church have faxed a press release (why bother saving trees when the earth will be destroyed in an apocaplyptic blood bath, right?) saying that Kermit Love, whom I blogged about last Friday, is for sure in hell.

The church will be picketing his funeral, which is another example of something I think regularly about fundamentalist nut jobs - “Go work in a soup kitchen!” People don’t eat in this country, and you’re worrying about some guy going down on another guy? Or a lady enjoying the sensual pleasures of another lady? Honestly.

The craziest part of the press release comes toward the end:

“I have no hesitancy in declaring that all you living fags who live in fag sins and die in fag sins — will ultimately and inevtiably join Kermit Love in Hell — there to be tormented by the Lord Jesus Christ and his holy angels and people, personally for ever and ever.”

Now, I’m good and screwed according to the fundies because I’m gay and a witch, but it’s my understanding that Jesus doesn’t go about burning sinners with bubbling pitch or sending his faceless homonculi to disembowl the wicked in perdition.

If I’m not mistaken, much of the message was about loving your neighbor as yourself, taking the beam from your own eye and not casting the first stone. I’d be really surprised if the man who hung out with fallen women and lepers did a 180 in the afterlife and became the posterboy for horror and despair.

Regardless of what I think about Jesus’ divine parentage, I do believe that his message was one of peace in a world overrun by madness, and his lessons are still relevant in today’s culture where instead of doing good works for those in need, so-called holy men spend their time damning a man who created a big yellow puppet named Big Bird.
